The FF project, developed by Zalc Arquitetura, involves the unification of two 50 m² apartments into a single 100 m² space in the city of São Paulo, in Brazil. Combining a bold industrial style with a touch of coziness, the project reflects the predominance of sober tones, such as black and exposed concrete. The challenge was to balance the coldness of these materials with a warm and inviting atmosphere. Photography by Guilherme Pucci.
Guarujá House is a project designed by Nitsche Arquitetos. The house designed in Guarujá, located in the city of Guarujá on the coast of São Paulo, sits within a gated community that is part of a protected area of the original Atlantic Forest. To preserve the richness of this native forest, local regulations permit only 30% of the land area to be developed. The challenge was to accommodate a program that required at least 450 m² of built space. To achieve this, the design was divided into three levels. Photography by André Scarpa.
The house is designed by Margot Aurensan Architecte with a focus on sobriety and simplicity, both in terms of volumes and materials, ensuring it blends harmoniously with its natural surroundings. The aim is to preserve the green character of the site, while creating a structure that adapts perfectly to the existing topography. The garden level, nestled against the slope, offers a seamless connection to the landscape, while the ground floor is carefully set back, presenting the illusion of a single-story building from the main street.

The project designed by Fran Silvestre Arquitectos features diagonal views toward a lake belonging to the La Moraleja golf course in Madrid. Given that the size of this location allowed for it, a home was proposed that develops primarily on a single floor. The daytime area is organized into two volumes of different heights that shift in relation to each other, creating a sheltered terrace that faces the landscape, oriented southeast. The main body has a height of almost one and a half floors. A third structure houses the nighttime area, positioned in such a way that it has its own more private outdoor space.
